ASTIC  Paint  was  among  the  first  strictly  pure  paints  to  be  put  on  the  mar- 
ket and  its  high  standard  of  purity  and  general  excellence  have  been  constant- 
ly maintained  since  it  was  first  introduced,  forty  years  ago.  Owing  to  its  dur- 
ability, it  is  justly  entitled  to  be  called  “The  Kind  That  Lasts.” 

The  reason  for  this  widespread  popularity  of  Mastic  are  important  to  the  pros- 
pective paint  purchaser.  Mastic  is  a double  pigment  paint  composed  of  strictly  pure 
White  Lead  and  Zinc  Oxide  ground  in  pure  raw  Linseed  Oil  with  the  necessary  dryers 
and  tinting  color,  and  nothing  else — being  absolutely  free  from  any  adulterants  or 
inert  cheapening  materials. 

The  good  results  obtained  by  the  use  of  the  strictly  pure  double  pigment  formula 
are  evidenced  by  the  enormous  increase  in  our  sales  of  Mastic  Paint  during  recent 
years  and  are  further  verified  by  the  careful  investigations  and  exhaustive  tests  made 
by  ourselves  and  by  other  leading  paint  manufacturers  of  this  country  through  the 
National  Association  of  Paint  Manufacturers. 

Many  people  wonder  why,  several  months  after  painting  a building,  the  surface 
apparently  loses  its  bright,  glossy  appearance,  getting  dull  and  flat,  even  to  the  extent 
of  dusting  off,  whereas  other  houses  in  the  same  locality,  painted  under  the  same  con- 
ditions, retain  a luster  and  hard,  enamel-like  finish  for  years. 

In  the  light  of  our  present-day  advanced  knowledge  of  scientific  paint-making, 
the  fallacy  of  using  ordinary  keg  lead  alone  is  apparent. 

White  Lead  makes  an  excellent  base  for  pure,  high-grade  paint,  and  is  useful  up 
to  a certain  limit — that  limit  does  not  exceed  50  per  cent. ; but  it  must  be  reinforced 
with  a good  Zinc  Oxide  in  the  right  proportion  and  ground  (not  paddled)  in  pure  Lin- 
seed Oil  to  secure  the  durability,  hardness  and  weather-resisting  qualities  essential 
to  a good  result. 

A paint  film  protects  only  just  so  long  as  it  remains  hard,  glossy  and  impervious 
to  moisture.  Linseed  Oil  is  what  gives  paint  its  gloss  and  is  the  life  and  essence  of  all 
good  paint.  An  insufficient  amount  of  oil  results  in  a paint  that  is  lacking  in  durabil- 
ity. White  Lead  alone  will  absorb  only  from  6 to  8 per  cent,  of  its  bulk  of  Linseed 
Oil.  Zinc  Oxide  will  absorb  22  per  cent,  of  its  bulk,  consequently  a paint  carrying  a 
safe  percentage  of  zinc  will  outwear  and  outlast  one  made  of  lead  alone. 

Allowing  in  the  case  of  the  all-White  Lead  Paint  8 per  cent,  of  oil,  fully  half  this 
small  proportion  penetrates  the  wood,  leaving  only  4 per  cent,  to  bind  the  surface  film 
together — entirely  too  little.  It  soon  disintegrates  under  the  chemical  action  of  the 
lead,  leaving  a dry,  flat,  powdery  film  that  is  no  protection  at  all,  moisture  striking 
through  it  almost  as  quickly  as  it  would  through  a lime  or  whitewash  coating. 

Zinc  Oxide,  of  a selected  type,  combined  with  lead  in  the  right  proportion  and 
ground  together  by  machinery,  reinforces  the  lead  pigment  and  alters  its  deficiencies. 
This  is  the  true  solution  of  the  Paint  Question. 

Those  who  contemplate  painting  this  season,  by  investigating  beforehand  the 
quality  and  composition  of  the  paint  they  use,  will  save  themselves  many  dollars  of 
cost  in  wear  and  service.  You  can’t  paint  right  unless  you  get  the  right  paint.  In- 
sure good  results  by  getting  MASTIC  PAINT — “The  Kind  That  Lasts.”

ment is  well  chosen  and  many  beautiful  effects  have  been  obtained  with  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  for  the 
walls  and  Pee  Gee  Finishes  for  the  woodwork.

GHIS  novel  combination  of  frame  and  stucco  affords  an  opportunity  for  a wide  variety  of  color 
selections.  We  have  chosen  a deep  permanent  green  and  terra-cotta  roof  with  free  use  of  white 
for  porch  and  trim. 

The  window  arrangement  of  the  second  floor  is  an  attractive  feature  of  this  model,  and  wall 
paper  is  entirely  discarded  in  favor  of  an  interior  Flatkoatt  treatment.  All  downstairs  floors  are 
hardwood  shellaced  and  waxed,  while  the  pine  floors  upstairs  are  stained  in  natural  wood  shades  and 
varnished  with  Specification  Floor  Varnish.

SASH— Mastic  White. 


TRIM— Mastic  White. 


gVERY  neat  and  striking  design,  thoroughly  modern  in  all  respects.  The  rich  red  color  can  be 
obtained  with  both  Mastic  Paint  and  Pee  Gee  Creostain  No.  303,  according  to  the  taste  of  the 
owner.  The  secluded  porch  with  low  overhung  roof  nearly  covered  by  vines  adds  much  to  the 
cosy  appearance.  Another  interesting  feature  is  the  single  pane  windows,  with  pure  white  trim. 

The  hardwood  floors  are  shellaced  and  waxed  with  Pee  Gee  Finishes.  Pee  Gee  Dystain  in  Mis- 
sion Oak  and  Early  English  shades  with  Specification  Varnishes  are  used.  Burlap  in  rich  brown,  with 
lighter  tints  of  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  for  upper  walls  and  ceilings,  gives  a modern  and  sanitary  treatment. 


BODY — Mastic  Lavender. 


ROOF — Mastic  Buckeye  Brown. 


SASH — Mastic  Black, 


aN  unusual  and  harmonious  color  selection  makes  this  modern  home  especially  desirable.  Lav- 
ender blends  in  a pleasing  manner  with  the  Buckeye  Brown  of  the  roof  and  the  clean  white 
trim  and  bright  red  brick  chimney  give  a fresh,  neat  and  distinctive  appearance. 

This  house  is  thoroughly  modern,  spacious  and  well  lighted.  Note  the  generous  provision  for 
windows  and  bays  with  sharply  defined  sash  trimmed  with  black. 

Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  with  attractive  border  stencils  renders  this  interior  unusually  attractive 
through  the  use  of  delicate  blues,  yellows  and  greens.

V J the  lighter  French  gray  from  the  darker  lead  color  of  the  roof.  The  double  bay  windows  at 
the  upper  front  adds  roominess  to  the  upstairs  interior;  which  is  finished  with  China  Enamel 
White  and  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt.  The  woodwork  of  the  ground  floor  is  in  Pee  Gee  Dystain  Mahogany 
and  Oak  finished  with  Specification  Interior  Varnishes.  The  maple  floors  throughout  are  simply 
varnished  without  staining.

The  brightly  painted  roof  in  Mastic  Rich  Red  adds  life  to  the  color  combination. 

The  interior  of  the  house  also  follows  the  Colonial  with  a pure  white  trim  for  all  doors  and  wood- 
work in  Pee  Gee  China  Enamel  White.  The  walls  throughout  are  finished  with  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt, 
the  large  dining  room  being  exceptionally  attractive  with  a color  scheme  of  Flatkoatt  Old  Rose  and 
Roman  Red.  Large  border  stencil  designs  are  suitably  selected.

such  an  extensive  area.  Mastic  Freestone  with  pure  white  trim  completes  the  combination. 

The  interior  finish  downstairs  gives  some  excellent  and  tasteful  suggestions.  The  living  room 
and  dining  room  are  done  with  Dystain  Mahogany  and  Specification  Varnish.  The  library  and  den 
have  Mission  Oak  Dystain  and  Specification  Flat  Varnish.  The  downstairs  bedroom  and  hallways 
have  a China  Enamel  White  treatment  rubbed  to  an  egg  shell  finish.  The  entire  upper  floor  is  also 
finished  in  the  China  Enamel  White  and  all  walls  are  done  with  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt.

The  brown  window  sash  trim  is  a welcome  departure  from  the  conventional  treatment.  The 
porch  floor  and  steps  in  Pee  Gee  Portlanite  are  in  keeping  with  the  general  exterior.

X IMPORTANT  as  is  the  exterior  painting:  of  a home,  both  for  protection  and  for  general 
beautification,  the  owner  must  needs  give  even  greater  attention  to  the  interior  walls,  ceil- 
ings, floors  and  woodwork,  which  offer  an  unlimited  field  for  the  display  of  artistic  and 
discriminating  taste.  The  purpose  of  interior  finishing  is  to  a large  extent  purely  dec- 
orative, and  the  utilitarian  ideas  of  protective  painting  can  here  be  safely  put  aside. 

Success  in  decoration  depends  largely  on  an  understanding  of  colors.  Tiring  of  a color  is  a 
confession  that  it  has  been  poorly  chosen  with  respect  to  other  colors  at  which  one  is  compelled  to 
look.  You  must  know  the  difference  between  colors  and  tones  and  what  is  meant  by  harmony  if 
you  are  to  evolve  a perfect  color  scheme. 

For  the  purpose  in  hand,  we  will  consider  that  (with  the  exception  of  black  and  white)  there  are 
only  three  colors  which  cannot  be  made  by  a combination  of  other  colors.  These  three  colors  are 
red,  yellow  and  blue.  Experiments  tried  upon  people  with  these  three  colors  have  proven  that  red 
has  the  effect,  psychologically,  of  exciting  the  observer,  blue  of  depressing,  and  yellow  of  cheering 
and  soothing  his  mental  faculties. 

Any  hue  which  is  obtained  by  a mixture  of  the  three  primary  colors  in  whatever  proportion 
constitutes  a tone.  Commonly  speaking,  tones  are,  therefore,  softened  colors.  All  colors  which  end 
with  “ish,”  such  as  bluish,  grayish,  reddish-brown,  yellowish  green,  are  tones  and  can  be  used  with 
safety  on  large  surfaces. 

Color,  therefore,  is  a very  important  essential.  It  has  been  happily  and  aptly  defined  by  em- 
inent art  authority  as  “the  music  of  light,”  and  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  the  decorations  of  your 
walls  and  ceilings  harmonize  with  the  furnishings  of  your  room,  whatever  the  size  or  purpose. 

Another  important  feature  is  the  permanence  of  the  colors,  and  the  possibilities  of  restoring 
them  without  injury  to  the  tone,  surface  or  appearance. 

In  the  finish  and  decoration  of  rooms  the  one  question  is  color.  It  is  the  question  of  having 
your  finishing  done  right  at  the  start.  Once  finish  your  walls  right  and  you  will  not  have  to  worry 
about  the  arrangement  of  furniture,  the  hanging  of  draperies,  paintings  or  pictures  for  covering 
up  defects  so  common  with  ordinary  materials. 

It  is  these  advantages  that  have  laid  the  foundation  of  a lasting  popularity  for  Pee  Gee  Flat- 
koatt, the  modern  flat  oil  wall  finish.  Then  there  is  that  satisfying  range  of  colors — deep,  pure 
colors  and  delicate  hues  and  tints — all  available  in  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt.  Your  moods,  your  tempera- 
ment, your  individual  tastes  cannot  fail  to  be  satisfied.  No  matter  how  large  your  house  or  what 
original  color  scheme  you  desire,  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  will  give  a pleasing  treatment  for  every  room 
and  hallway. 

The  keynote  of  modern  home  art  is  simplicity  in  harmony.  Bright  colors  and  intricate 
designs  are  not  conducive  to  mental  poise.  Walls  and  ceilings  must  not  intrude — they  must  be  con- 
stantly subordinated  to  the  personalities  within  the  home.  Good  taste  requires  simple  pure  pigments 
of  a lasting  sort  put  on  the  walls  of  your  home  in  a quiet,  permanent  manner,  taking  into  consid- 
eration the  general  color  scheme  of  woodwork  and  walls  together  before  definitely  selecting  the 
auxiliary  colors.  This  is  the  secret  of  correct  decoration. 

When  you  select  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  for  your  walls  and  ceilings,  you  select  for  simplicity,  the 
final  edict  in  modern  interior  decoration. 

The  perfect  wall  is  the  wall  finished  with  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt.  It  is  the  only  means  by  which  you 
can  arrive  at  the  most  pleasing  combination  of  color  and  color  effect.

Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  is  a flat  oil  finish.  It  simplifies  and  solves  the  problem  of  finishing  your 
walls  and  ceilings,  for  the  reason  that  it  affords  such  an  infinite  variety  of  shade,  tone,  color  and 
possibilities  for  combination  for  producing  any  result  desired. 

The  three  interior  views  shown  herewith  serve  to  illustrate  some  frequently-used  color  combi- 
nations of  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt,  well  chosen  and  typical  of  the  many  beautiful  possibilities. 

It  is  beyond  the  scope  of  this  booklet  to  attempt  a lengthy  discourse  on  art  in  the  home.  This 
subject  is  fully  covered  in  our  handsome  book,  “The  Modern  Method  of  Decorating  Walls,”  which 
will  be  sent  free  on  request  to  any  house  owner. 

The  estimated  covering  capacity  of  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  for  Different  Surfaces  (using  plaster  meas- 
urements, making  no  allowance  for  openings),  is  as  follows: 

Smooth  Finish  Plaster. — If  not  previously  painted,  one-half  gallon  First  Coater  and  one  gallon 
Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  to  300  square  feet  of  surface  for  a finished  job.  If  previously  painted  with  oil 
paint,  figure  one-fifth  gallon  First  Coater  and  one  gallon  Flatkoatt  for  300  square  feet  for  finished 
job.  This  also  applies  for  woodwork  and  steel  ceilings. 

Sand  Finish  Plaster — If  previously  unpainted,  one-half  gallon  First  Coater  and  one  gallon  Flat- 
koatt for  200  to  225  square  feet  for  finished  job.  If  previously  painted  with  oil  paint,  figure  one- 
fifth  gallon  First  Coater  and  one  gallon  Flatkoatt  for  225  to  250  square  feet  for  a finished  job.

China  Enamel  White 


GHE  cardinal  feature  of  the  bathroom  interior,  shown  on  page  twenty-six,  is  the  use  of  Pee  Gee 
China  Enamel  White.  This  pure,  clean-looking  white  is  capable  of  both  gloss  or  egg  shell  finish, 
which  is  produced  with  repeated  coats  successively  rubbed  to  eliminate  the  gloss.  Nothing  is 
more  pleasing  than  a bright,  cheerful  bedroom,  dainty  bathroom  or  well  lighted  hallway  trimmed  in 
beautiful  China  Enamel  White  amid  delicate  tints  of  Pee  Gee  Flatkoatt  on  the  walls.  This  high-grade 
enamel  will  stand  hard  usage  and  resist  moisture.  It  is  capable  of  preserving  its  original  tone-value 
under  hard  rubbing. 

Pee  Gee  China  Enamel  gives  a beautiful  porcelain  effect  on  any  surface  and  is  unsurpassed  for 
woodwork  or  walls  in  homes  or  clubhouses  whose  interior  decorations  are  of  the  old  colonial  style.  It 
is  also  extensively  used  in  the  cabins  of  steamships  or  pleasure  craft,  and  in  hospitals,  where  a 
smooth,  glossy,  hard,  non-porous  surface  is  required  from  a sanitary  standpoint.  When  used  over 
keen  cement,  a duplicate  of  tile  is  obtained  at  less  than  half  the  cost  of  tile.  Being  non-porous,  it 
can  be  washed  to  better  advantage  than  any  other  finish.  A perfect  job  of  White  Enamel  work  will 
last  a lifetime.  Full  directions  for  application  on  every  can. 

Write  for  free  booklet  on  China  Enamel  White,  telling  all  about  the  use  of  enamels  in  the  home.

Pee  Gee  Dystain  and 

Specification  Varnishes 


W 


00D  is  ordinarily  finished  in  either  one  of  two  ways — transpar- 
ent or  opaque.  Transparent  finishes  and  stains  are  used  on  hard 
or  soft  woods  and  show  the  natural  grain.  Opaque  paints  are 
used  on  soft  woods  where  it  is  desired  to  obscure  the  grain. 

The  natural  grain  effect  is  generally  preferred  and  is  accomplished 
in  three  steps — staining,  filling  and  surface  finishing — with  either  var- 
nish or  wax,  according  to  the  judgment  of  the  owner.  Varnish  is  more 
durable,  but  scars;  wax  does  not.  For  mission  effects  wax  is  used  almost 
exclusively,  and,  on  floors,  wax  can  be  frequently  renewed  without  trouble. 

Whether  varnish  or  wax  is  used,  Pee  Gee  Penetrating  Dystain  should 
be  first  applied.  Pee  Gee  Dystain  is  a high-grade  penetrating  stain,  dif- 
ferent from  other  stains,  as  it  penetrates  into  the  wood,  colors  it  just  the 
right  shade  and  is  very  permanent  under  strong  light;  has  excellent 
brushing  properties,  sets  slowly,  shows  no  laps  nor  streaks  and  will  not 
rub  up  as  do  inferior  stains. 

Pee  Gee  Dystain  is  put  up  in  glass  bottles  and  wide-mouthed  glass 
jars  only  and  come  in  the  following  sizes:  Gallons,  half-gallons,  quarts, 
pints,  half-pints,  in  the  following  standard  shades : Light  Oak,  Golden 
Oak,  Brown  Oak,  Early  English,  Weathered  Oak,  Fumed  Oak,  Flemish 
Oak,  Bog  Oak,  Moss  Green,  Light  Mahogany  and  Dark  Mahogany. 

When  the  stain  is  thoroughly  dry,  filler  is  applied.  Pee  Gee  Liquid 
Surfacer  will  suffice  for  all  woodwork  excepting  floors,  which  require 
Pee  Gee  Paste  Filler  in  every  case. 

The  finishing  coats  should  be  Pee  Gee  Floor  Wax  or  Pee  Gee  Specifi- 
cation Varnishes  chosen  from  the  following:  Light  Hard  Oil,  Inside 
Preservative,  Flat  Finish  or  Floor  Varnish.  As  their  name  indicates, 
these  high-grade  varnishes  are  designed  for  particular  effects  so  frequent- 
ly required  in  the  specifications  of  architects. 

If  you  desire  special  information  regarding  the  application  of  these 
finishes  to  produce  certain  effects,  write  our  Art  Department  for  advice. 
Let  us  help  you  solve  your  problem.

Household  Finishes 


are  many  occasions  when  the  careful  housekeeper  finds  good  use  for  a 
■ ^ j handy  can  of  paint  and  a small  brush.  These  little  household  jobs  are  inexpen- 

sive  and  often  require  less  than  fifteen  minutes’  time  to  do,  yet  the  improved 
appearance  of  the  home  and  surroundings  may  well  arouse  a feeling  of  par- 
donable pride  in  the  mind  of  the  owner.  To  meet  this  growing  demand,  we  offer  the 
complete  line  of  Pee  Gee  Household  Finishes,  with  special  uses  as  enumerated  below: 

PEE  GEE  RE-NU-LAC  renews  and  restores  with  a single  operation  the 
effect  of  natural  woods  in  a varnish  finish.  This  combined  stain  and  varnish  works 
wonders  for  floors,  furniture  and  interior  woodwork.  RE-NU-LAC  Dead  Black  is  used 
on  andirons,  grate  fronts,  fixtures  and  all  metal  surfaces  where  a dull  black  finish  is 
desired.  RE-NU-LAC  Gold  and  Aluminum  are  for  radiators,  pipes,  chandeliers  and 
similar  surfaces  where  the  finish  must  withstand  a moderate  heat. 


PEE  GEE  SCREEN  ENAMEL,  a durable  rust  preventive  designed  for  screen 
wire  and  frames  alike.  Will  not  clog  mesh.  Made  in  four  standard  colors. 


PEE  GEE  HYDROLITE,  a special  bathtub  enamel  white,  capable  of  withstand- 
ing scalding  water.  Suitable  for  both  wood  and  metal  surfaces. 


PEE  GEE  BLUE  RIBBON  FAMILY  PAINTS  for  both  outdoor  and  indoor  use 
is  suitable  for  painting  shelves,  kitchen  furniture,  storage  boxes,  medicine  chests, 
flower  pot  stands,  vine  trelises  and  many  other  household  uses.  Dries  with  a good 
gloss.  Made  in  20  colors  and  white. 


PEE  GEE  PORTLANITE,  a paint  for  concrete  and  cement  surfaces,  is  made  in 
both  gloss  and  dull  finish.  Suitable  for  outside  foundations  and  for  basement  walls 
and  floors.  PORTLANITE  GLOSS  is  especially  valuable  in  keeping  out  moisture 
from  damp  cellars.  Both  gloss  and  dull  are  made  in  six  different  colors. 


PEE  GEE  SWING  PAINT  is  an  ideal  coating  for  swings,  porch  chairs  and  lawn 
furniture.  These  attractive  colors  not  only  beautify  your  outdoor  furniture,  but  add 
greatly  to  its  life.  Bright  strong  colors  to  select  from. 


Page  Twenty-eight 


PEE  GEE  IMPLEMENT  PAINT  is  particularly  useful  about  the  farm.  Rot  and 
rust  are  always  active  in  farm  implements  and  tools.  A coat  of  PEE  GEE  IMPLE- 
MENT PAINT  will  add  years  of  service  by  preventing  the  otherwise  certain  action  of 
rusting.  This  paint  will  repay  many  times  its  small  cost  to  the  user.  It  is  also  suit- 
able for  farm  wagons  and  vehicles  for  heavy  use. 

<§>  # <§>  ■§>  <§> 

PEE  GEE  CARRIAGE  PAINT  is  a reliable  high-gloss  varnish  finish  paint  for  bug- 
gies and  light  vehicles  requiring  a neat,  dainty,  clean-cut  finish.  Can  be  striped  if 
desired.  Eight  bright  colors. 

<§>  <§>  <t>  ■§-  <§> 

PEE  GEE  ENAMEL  TOP  DRESSING  is  a finish  for  protecting  and  restoring  the 
original  luster  to  buggy  tops,  dashboards,  grips,  satchels  and  leather  goods  of  all 
kinds.  It  gives  a rich  black  gloss  that  keeps  out  moisture  and  preserves  the  surface. 

<§>  <#>  <§>  <§•  <§■ 

Bare  kitchen  and  pantry  floors  are  always  troublesome  to  keep  clean  and  it  is  out 
of  the  question  to  use  rugs  or  carpets  in  such  rooms.  Painted  floors  overcome  these 
difficulties.  Half  an  hour’s  work  gives  your  floor  a durable  and  sanitary  finish,  pleas- 
ing to  the  eye,  easy  to  keep  clean  and  hard  to  wear  out.  PEE  GEE  ADAMANT  FLOOR 
PAINT  is  the  best  paint  for  this  purpose.  A floor  painted  at  night  can  be  walked  over 
the  next  morning.  Adamant  completely  covers  the  grain  of  the  wood  and  successfully 
obscures  all  unsightly  marks  and  scratches.  Dries  with  a fine  gloss.  It  is  waterproof 
and  can  be  scrubbed  with  soap  and  water  without  injury.  A variety  of  standard  neu- 
tral shades  is  afforded,  and  also  several  splendid  brighter  colors  well  adapted  for  bor- 
der treatments.  One  gallon  covers  250  square  feet,  two  coats. 

<§>  <§>  <§>  <t>  <§> 

Porch  Floors  require  a special  paint  since  outdoor  floors  have  to  withstand  ex- 
tremely severe  conditions.  Not  only  must  they  resist  constant  wear  and  abrasion 
from  passing  feet  but  also  wet  and  dry  weather  changes,  summer  and  winter.  PEE 
GEE  PORCH  PAINT  possesses  the  necessary  hardness  and  yet  sufficient  elasticity  to 
meet  these  requirements  properly.  The  line  comprises  well  chosen  subdued  tones  that 
will  not  show  dust,  and  are  absolutely  unfading. 

<^>  <§>  <t>  <#>  <#• 

Neglected  barns  and  outbuildings  are  not  only  very  unsightly  but  depreciate  rap- 
idly if  not  given  a coat  of  paint  for  protection.  PEE  GEE  BRILLIANT  RED  BARN 
PAINT,  ready  for  use,  is  designed  to  meet  these  requirements.  This  strong  bright 
red  will  outwear  any  other  roof  paint  on  the  market  for  the  same  money.  Its  cover- 
ing quality  is  also  excellent.  Where  the  surface  is  weather-beaten,  we  recommend  two 
coats  for  best  results.  The  first  coat  acts  as  a primer  and  the  second  coat  insures 
thorough  covering  and  a uniform  job.  Well  painted  outbuildings  add  greatly  to  the  ap- 
pearance of  your  place  and  a coat  of  good  paint  saves  the  timbers  from  decay.

Mastic  Paint 


“THE  KIND  THAT  LASTS” 


XS  absolutely  strictly  pure,  made  on  a base  of  strictly  Pure  White 
Lead,  reinforced  with  Zinc  Oxide,  combining  the  merits  of  both 
pigments  without  the  defects  of  either,  used  alone.  To  this  base 
we  add  the  necessary  Pure  Tinting  Colors,  all  then  being  thor- 
oughly mixed  and  ground  together  by  the  most  improved  machinery,  in 
Pure  Linseed  Oil,  to  a uniform  fineness  and  consistency. 


This  does  not  mean  a thin  or  uncertain  paint,  as  Mastic  Paint  is  suffi- 
ciently heavy  for  any  job.  You  will  have  to  thin  it  for  the  priming  coat. 


A painter  who  has  a surface  which  requires  the  paint  to  be  of  a dif- 
ferent body  for  the  various  coats  will  find  in  Mastic  Paint  exactly  what 
he  wants,  namely,  a heavy-bodied  paint,  adapted  for  all  classes  of  work, 
thus  saving  hours  of  labor  in  mixing  white  lead  and  oil,  or  paste  paints; 
all  loss  and  waste  is  avoided,  besides  it  spreads  easier  than  white  lead 
and  covers  more  surface. 


You  secure  in  Mastic  Paint  the  greatest  covering  capacity  obtainable 
in  any  paint. 

The  life  of  Mastic  Paint  is  the  longest,  because  of  its  purity;  thus 
you  have  the  greatest  durability. 


Covering  capacity  and  durability  both  combined  in  one  paint  makes 
Mastic  the  cheapest  that  can  be  bought.  It  is  not  cost  per  gallon,  but 
how  much  your  paint  bill  is  per  each  year  of  service,  that  measures  the 
value  of  your  paint.

Lead,  reinforced  with  Zinc  Oxide,  which  in  combination  with  Pure 
Raw  Linseed  Oil,  Turpentine  and  Dryer,  with  the  necessary  pure 
tinting  colors  to  produce  the  tints,  represents  the  purest  paint  it  is 
possible  to  make.  Our  Positive  Colors  are  manufactured  from  the 
finest  dry  color  if  is  possible  to  secure  combined  with  the  same 
thinners  as  above.
